| Collapse all
- My approach to government is to work with others, be pragmatic, and focus on solving problems, rather than engaging in politics.
- We need to be welcoming and inclusive toward all people. The current scapegoating of immigrants and transgender people is destructive and has to stop.
- Think globally and act locally. I work locally for peace and effective climate response.
